In the Chapter 24 of the Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 Administrator's Companion, I detailed how to use the STSADM command to upgrade a number of site collections using the Gradual upgrade approach.

Joel Oleson's SharePoint Land: "How to Create a Blog and Get Search Results From my last post I got a few questions about how or where to create a blog. Lately I've been thinking about how I can encourage more and more to blog since I've been seeing the benefits from those who blog and suffering as a result of those who fail to share. We speak of all the duplication we all do as a result of not being able to get search results.

Use this task to change the password information for several features, services, and Web applications in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Domain policies often require that domain account passwords be updated periodically.

This change provides additional security in case one of the passwords might have been compromised.

You can configure the various features, services, and Web applications of Office SharePoint Server 2007 to run as a domain account.

Because domain policy might require passwords to expire regularly, you might have to change the passwords for these accounts for these features, services, and Web applications to continue to function properly.
